Description

Environment

  • CLI: 6.2.2
  • Cross-platform modules: 6.2.2
  • Android Runtime: 6.2.0
  • iOS Runtime: 6.2.0
  • Plugin(s): nativescript-vue

Describe the bug

I am struggling at publishing my nativescript app in the iOS App Store. Uploading to Google Play Store was no problem at all. Cloud build (using Sidekick) is successful. Using the "Transporter" App from Mac App Store with the final .ipa-file I do always receive the following error:

ERROR ITMS-90085: "No architectures in the binary. Lipo failed to detect any architectures in the bundle executable."

To Reproduce

The problem even exists when trying to publish using the "Blank" Nativescript-Vue Template without any modifications. So just use this as a basis.

Expected behavior

Upload should work for iOS as fine as it does for Android.

Sample project

See To Reproduce

Additional context

I ran tns doctor with no issues at all. It is an update to an existing app (not using nativescript atm).

Research direction

Begin with the Blank NativeScript-Vue template and the reported CLI 6.2.2 environment; reproduce the cloud build and Transporter upload path, and inspect the generated .ipa around the ITMS-90085 error. Done means the same iOS package uploads successfully, with the relevant diagnostic output captured.
